//Zimbabwe in Pledge Over Genocide Suspect// Kitsepile Nyathi 7 February 2010

In this article authorities are saying that there are reports of Mr. Potrais Mpiranya having businesses in Harare. Mr. Potrais Mpiranya is the former leader of the presidential guard of the 1994 genocide against Tutsis. He is on the list of the most 13 wanted persons by the Arusha based International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. There has also been a $5million dollar reward placed by the US. Mpiranya has been reported to be running businesses in Zimbabwean capital. Also it is believed that he is assisting President Robert Mugabe's Zanu PF party to train its militia. Zimbabwe is ready to assist with Rwanda to work with their police.

I feel that this is a very good thing. This article is a sign that justice might be coming to the man who comitted genocide. This also can be a good thing for Tutsis. I believe that more poeple should be brought to justice for there acts in genocide also. 

This article brings a hope to me because the government is actually going after him for his offenses involved with the genocide. The reason may or may not be because of the US involvement, but it shows me that they are going after people and everyone is no longer getting off scott-free for the terrible crimes they committed.
